    I think we have passed the point of no return. Like, we are going to have our very first trillionaire, and everyone seems okay with it.

        I think we’re beyond taxing territory. I’d say we’ve reached confiscation of wealth over 100 million territory. These people have become a threat to everyone on earth and can’t be tolerated

      Whichever one it is, it should be taxed. Its whole family should be taxed. Its close servants ane security staff shoukd be taxed. Ajyone who enabled it shoukd be taxed. Taxed in ways both spectacular and public.

      I don’t know… the way people cheered Luigi tells me that most people are not okay with it - but that’s never stopped the media and their political handlers before.

          I mean… there is more where he came from. But I’d say that’s not the important thing.

          Compare the public’s reaction when Alexander Berkman shot capitalist Henry Clay Frick back in 1892. There was a lot of sympathy for when capitalist (and Nazi) Hanns Martin Schleyer was offed by RAF in 1977. I’d say the magic spell that capitalists once enjoyed has been thoroughly broken - and that’s unprecedented.
